'Superior suspense on almost every page... the hero is a masterpiece of conflicting qualities something for everyone' NEW YORK TIMES--'The only writer of airport paperbacks to be compared to Zola, Ian Fleming, Poe and Chaucer' NEW YORK TIMES-- 'Trevanian can write hoops around Ian Fleming' BOSTON GLOBE Jonathan Hemlock lives in a renovated Gothic church on Long Island. He is an art professor, a mountain climber and a mercenary, performing assassinations for money to augment his black-market art collection. But now he is being tricked into a hazardous assignment that necessitates climbing one of the most treacherous mountains in the Alps - the Eiger. Part thriller and part satire, The Eiger Sanction is a breathtakingly suspenseful read written with Trevanian s customary pzazz and boasting a magnificent cast of characters.

A bit of a romp

Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2020

I read this book for the mountaineering finally and it was okay but I have read better mountaineering adventures.

Dated and ridiculous plot

Reviewed in Australia on 18 February 2021

Not a recommended read. I did enjoy “The Main” but this was a silly attempt at a James Bond novel.

Light but very readable

Reviewed in Australia on 6 May 2015

Good holiday-in-the-sun material and an interesting insight into mountain climbing. A bit dated and I saw the twist coming.

Slick and engrossing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2015

Verified Purchase

This half homage, half pastiche of Bond-style thrillers makes for an engaging day's read. Trevanian writes with a sharp wit and at breakneck speed, though the denouement feels slightly rushed and falls just short of total satisfaction. The character of Hemlock is engaging despite his aloofness and anti-social demeanour, relying on dry, razor wit and deprecation of his foes to provide much of the novel's entertainment value. Fans of Clint Eastwood's movie adaptation will find much to enjoy in the expanded characterisation of the source text, and the portrayal of women, while still much on genre par for the period, is certainly far less misogynistic than the hurriedly distilled sex dolls seen on screen. Likewise the treatment of homosexual characters suffers less from the outright phobia that plagues Eastwood's adaptation, though be warned that they are still present mainly as points for ridicule.

Master of the written word. The world is a bit sadder without his books to look forward to tucking up in bed with.

Did not enjoy as much as Shibumi, it was one of a kind I suppose. Interesting characters but a little outdated.

I really enjoyed this novel

Reviewed in Canada on 26 February 2018

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this novel. It was suspensful and kept
on guessing all through the story. I found myself reading
later than usual just to find out what was happening on the
next page.
